The 4K Chromecast with Google TV streaming stick is down to $40 on Amazon as
part of a Black Friday sale. ThatΓÇÖs a savings of 20 percent, or ten bucks
for the math wizards out there.

We called the 1080p version of this device ΓÇ£a great little streaming
dongleΓÇ¥ and that certainly holds true for the newer 4K model. It supports
HDR and is compatible with just about any TV with an HDMI port. Once plugged
in, it streams via Wi-Fi.

The model also allows users to view live TV in 4K. This works with a bunch of
different live TV providers, like YouTube TV, Pluto TV, Sling TV and Philo.
It ships with a voice remote embedded with Google Assistant, allowing people
to bark orders regarding what stuff they want to watch.

As with most streaming sticks, users can cast stuff from their phones or
tablets. ThereΓÇÖs also the option to build a kid-friendly profile, complete
with family-friendly content and robust parental controls.

However, there is one caveat here. This model is likely on the way out. The
company looks to be prioritizing the recently-released Google TV Streamer,
which drops the dongle design in favor of a wedge. This one boasts more
storage and a faster CPU than the aforementioned dongle. The company also
shoehorned some AI in the new device because thatΓÇÖs what everyone must do
now. However, the Google TV Streamer costs $100. IΓÇÖd go for the $40
Chromecast myself.
